Our Parliamentary Candidate Nick Pickles has posted a telling commentary on the state of Labour Politics in this part of Yorkshire on the BlueBlog here.
The run to the election is just about to start and when/if Gordon Brown goes to the Palace tomorrow then people will start to see what the possibilities are for real change in this part of Yorkshire. Parliamentary change in a constituency that has been Labour dominated, some say oppressed since 1935 and a District Council run by the Wakefield Labour Party since WMDC came into existence in the 1970's.
Fire up the Quattro it's time for a change!

Fire up the Internet Campaign
The Conservatives have today launched a rebuttal of Labour's new poster campaign on exactly the same digital posters sites as the Labour ads.
Interesting to see that the first Labour poster campaign likens David Cameron to Gene Hunt, seems quite complimentary to me.

A good easter to all!
Gáudeat et tellus, tantis irradiáta fulgóribus:
et ætérni Regis splendóre illustráta,
tótius orbis se séntiat amisísse calíginem.
For some today is signified by the rustle of wrapping paper and the crunch of chocolate. For others there is also witness of the lighting of the paschal candle to symbolise Christ as light of the world and his presence in the midst of his people.
Whatever Easter means to you, may you have a good one.

Lions led by Donkeys
"Lions led by donkeys" is a phrase popularly used to describe the British infantry of the First World War and to condemn the generals who commanded them. The contention is that the brave soldiers (lions) suffered and in many cases were sent to their deaths by incompetent, unthinking and indifferent leaders (donkeys).
Now William Hague likens the British People as Lions and The Brown Government as donkeys in an interview given to the Daily Telegraph, the former Conservative leader tells Patrick Hennessy how Conservatives intend to undo the damage wreaked by Labour’s 13 years in power...Here

Department of Government Waste - New Report and Video
The Secretary of State at the Department of Government Waste is showcasing the Governments activity on the DoGW web site here. The report in pdf format and video of their achievements was released this morning.
Quite fascinating.
Quite fascinating.
Went Edge - Secretary of State responds....And the answer is not an April Fool
We will now have to wait until June to learn the outcome of Bank's appeal. The Secretary of State has just issued a deferral of the decision and passed it to his replacement in the next Government.
That takes our MP of the hook, no awkward national government policy on industrial wind farms to cause her embarrasment.
For what its worth, I am not totally surprised. Whatever the future national government following the General Election, we will lobby hard to see that this untenable and simply wrong development proposal which Messrs Banks are pushing will be rejected.
In doing so we hope that the future Secretary of State will confirm the rejection by the Local Planning Committee. Acknowledge the huge concern and opposition across the communities of West Park, Darrington, Wentbridge, East Hardwick, Carleton, Chequerfield and Larks Hill on the South side of Pontefract and hopefully put a marker down as to avoid other applications that are simply too close to communities.
If that Secretary of State should be a Conservative, I hope that they will stay true to our energy policy (Copy at the bottom of this post), but that they will see the power of the case put forward by PWAG and the representations made at the public enquiry and simply reject Bank's inadequate and destructive proposal.
From a Conservative standpoint we question the value of onshore wind generation unless properly validated and accepted by local communities. As you will see in the document whilst off shore wind generation linked to an offshore energy grid will give a growing source of energy, wind is an inconsistent source of renewable energy and we will be pushing to get a blend of energy sources to give us supply security and address the future needs.
